As one listens to Trump’s speeches, it’s hard not to hear the disjointed sentences that have no ending, the rants about “Fascists, Communists, radical leftists, Socialists,” and other targets of his rage, the non sequiturs, the slurred and meaningless words.
He and his allies frequently accuse President Biden of senility. Could Trump be projecting his own fears?
The Washington Post reported that Donald’s father suffered from dementia:
Donald Trump invited his extended family to Mar-a-Lago in the mid-1990s. As the clan gathered at the palatial Florida estate, though, his father was badly struggling, according to Mary L. Trump, Donald’s niece.
Fred Trump Sr., the pugnacious developer then in his late 80s, didn’t recognize two of his children at the party, recalled Mary L. Trump, who attended the gathering. And when he did recognize Donald, the family patriarch approached his son with a picture of a Cadillac that he wanted to buy — as if he needed his son’s permission.
The incident, Mary L. Trump said, left Donald Trump visibly upset at his father’s descent into dementia, which medical records show had been diagnosed several years earlier. Trump reflected his anguish in an interview around that time, with Playboy in 1997 reporting that seeing his father “addled with Alzheimer’s” had left him wondering “out loud about the senselessness of life.”
“Turning 50 does make you think about mortality, or immortality, or whatever,” Trump, who had recently reached that milestone, told the magazine. “It does hit you.”
Today, as the 77-year-old Trump seeks to return to the White House, he is still focused on the ravages of dementia — but this time he is using the condition as a political weapon, alleging without medical proof that President Biden, 81, is “cognitively impaired.” Those attacks follow a long pattern for the former president, who for years has bashed enemies as mentally frail while boasting in public about “acing” the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, a basic test that flags signs of early dementia.
Trump regularly claims to have passed the test twice, but through a spokesman, his campaign declined to release his test results or to specify when he most recently took it. Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Tex.), the former White House physician, said in an interview this month that he administered it to Trump once, in January 2018.
Trump in November released a three-paragraph letter in which Bruce Aronwald, a doctor of osteopathy, said that Trump’s health was excellent and that “cognitive exams were exceptional” but provided no details. Aronwald did not respond to a request for comment.
Ziad Nasreddine, the neurologist who created the test, said in an interview that if an individual in their 70s had not taken the Montreal test since 2018, the results would not be valid to cite today.
Trump’s long fixation on mental fitness followed years of watching his father’s worsening dementia — a formative period that some associates said has been a defining and little-mentioned factor in his life, and which left him with an abiding concern that he might someday inherit the condition. While much remains unknown about Alzheimer’s, experts say there is an increased risk of inheriting a gene associated with the disease from a parent…
Trump’s father’s condition also drove a wedge into his family, which fell into years of lawsuits that alleged in part that Donald Trump sought to take advantage of his father’s dementia to wrest control of the family estate — litigation that introduced reams of medical records detailing Fred Trump Sr.’s condition.
The full story of Trump’s father’s illness, and the family turmoil it sparked, casts new light on his views of an issue that’s become central to the presidential campaign, with pollsters finding a majority of voters have concerns about the mental fitness of both Trump and Biden. Those concerns have sharpened as both candidates have had lapses on the trail, with Biden mixing up the names of the leaders of Mexico and Egypt and Trump confusing former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley with former speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, and warning that the United States could face “World War II” under Biden…
In the early 1970s, as Donald took a leading role in the firm, Fred Trump Sr. told the New York Times that “Donald is the smartest person I know.”
By 1990, though, the claims of Trump’s business genius were being questioned as he fell into desperate financial condition. He eventually filed six corporate bankruptcies, and he faced the prospect of personal bankruptcy as his first wife, Ivana, sought $1 billion in a divorce settlement. His high-profile casinos in Atlantic City were badly faltering.
That’s when Trump sought to change his father’s will.
Trump arranged for a lawyer to write an amendment called a codicil giving him control over the estate and to protect his inheritance from creditors. He then had two of his father’s most trusted associates deliver it to Fred Trump Sr. as if it were a formality. But Trump’s mother, Mary MacLeod Trump, forbade Trump’s father from signing it immediately. Trump’s sister, Maryanne Trump Barry, later said in a deposition that her father didn’t like how the effort to change the will was being done “behind his back…”
Experts said much remains unknown about how people get Alzheimer’s, but research has shown that genetics may play a role.
In a 2020 article about the health of Biden and Trump in the journal Active Aging, the authors wrote that “Trump does face an elevated familial risk of late onset Alzheimer’s disease (AD) as this was a major contributor to his father’s death.” S. Jay Olshansky, the article’s lead author and professor of public health at the University of Illinois at Chicago, said that “the genetic risk hasn’t changed” and that he is awaiting a new medical report from Trump to update the analysis.
[Dr. Ronny] Jackson said he had never discussed genetic Alzheimer’s risks with the former president but said he would have told him “it’s nothing he should be worried about.” (A White House spokesman, Andrew Bates, told The Post via email that neither of Biden’s parents had dementia.)
Diane Ravitch's blog 
It’s hard to know – absent a cognitive test conducted by professionals – if Trump has dementia at this time. He has never been an intelligent person because he has always been too lazy to make the effort to be well-informed about serious issues. He is purely a showman, a circus clown who got where he is because he was born into a wealthy family and because his older brother – the designated heir apparent – chose not to go into the family business. If I had to bet I would guess that within the next five years Trump will show clear signs of dementia.
But Trump’s situation does not deflect from the fact that much credible evidence indicates that Joe Biden has dementia that is progressing. Biden has also never been impressive intellectually, as older Democratic politicians and journalists know, although they won’t say that openly now. But to anyone open to evidence – not blindly partisan – Biden shows obvious signs of cognitive decline.
Let’s use common sense here. Biden’s greatest political liability is the widespread belief – including among most Democrats – that he has suffered serious cognitive decline that will only get worse if he is re-elected. If he has not suffered such decline, he can take a short test conducted by medical professionals to dispel that public concern. Why won’t he agree to taking such a test? Obvious answer: he and those close to him fear that he could not pass that exam, and if the results were disclosed publicly he would be pressured to drop out of the 2024 race for President.
Both major parties need better nominees for President.
If, and I think it is a big IF, Biden has cognitive issues, with everything he’s accomplished during his first term in office, then he must have one hell of a competent and honest administration that wants the best for the country and not a few hundred billionaires, and Biden is clear minded enough to trust them.
The best leaders select the best people and then delegate authority. Something Traitor Trump is incapable of doing.
From what I’ve read about FDR, he was brain dead and in a comma before he died and his wife Eleanor was leading the country by sitting alone by her husband every morning and then coming out of his bedroom and telling his staff what he told her to tell them.
https://lib.arizona.edu/hsl/materials/collections/secret-illness/fdr
So, our first unofficial woman president, for a few hours or days, may have been Eleanor Roosevelt.
I’ve read that Reagan’s wife was doing something similar as he slid into dementia near the end of his term, but she had to confer with her fortune teller first before she passed on what she claimed her husband told her.
Lloyd, our first unelected woman president was not Eleanor Roosevelt, but Edith Wilson, the wife of Woodrow Wilson. President Wilson suffered a stroke in October 1919, and from that point until the next President took office, Edith Wilson was known as the first female president.
Lloyd Lofthouse – as usual – is very uninformed and just shoots from the hip. He did not read that Eleanor was effectively leading the country while FDR was in a coma because that’s not what happened. While sitting for a portrait on April 12, 1945 FDR collapsed and died of a cerebral hemorrhage about 2.5 hours later. Vice President Harry Truman took the oath of office the same day. Eleanor never led the country for a second. There is zero credible historical evidence that Nancy Reagan ever functioned in any way like Edith Wilson did. It’s what Lloyd wants to believe so that’s what he believes.
I’m often curious about where Lloyd gets his information. FDR died a few hours after he suffered a major stroke; at no time did Eleanor function as an acting president. I’ve also read a lot about the Reagan presidency, much of it negative about him. None of that material ever mentioned a word about Nancy effectively acting as President.
Martha and Larry, did you read this phrase in my comment that wasn’t a research paper:
“From what I’ve read about FDR”
Gee, I wonder where I got that idea? Let’s take a look.
One fact I know for sure, Eleanor was FDR’s eyes and ears when he was president.
“THE ROOSEVELTS HAD ONE OF THE MOST NOTABLE POLITICAL PARTNERSHIPS IN AME#RICAN HISTORY”
https://www.history.com/topics/first-ladies/eleanor-roosevelt
I read this book a few years back.
Then there’s this one:
“As FDR struggled to recover from polio, Eleanor became a voice for the voiceless, her husband’s proxy in the White House. Later, she would be the architect of international human rights and world citizen of the Atomic Age, urging Americans to cope with the anxiety of global annihilation by cultivating a “world mind.” She insisted that we cannot live for ourselves alone but must learn to live together or we will die together.”
“HER HUSBAND’S PROXY IN THE WHITE HOUSE.”
Howard Baker relates this anecdote in his autobiography–that when he took over as Reagan’s Chief of Staff, one of the other cabinet members pulled him aside before the first cabinet meeting and said to him, “Don’t be surprised if the old man is not really there.” In his second term, Reagan was dealing with senility, and that term was a sort of corporate presidency, in which others around him carried the ball. I noted at the time that Reagan would routinely forget what he was talking about mid-sentence and end with something completely different from what he started with.
Given that the advisors of a president are the true measures of a president, I would take Joe Biden in a coffin over a robust totalitarian like Trump. The choice is clear. Vote for a person willing to surround himself with people who will subvert the constitution, or vote for a person who upholds the law.
Well said, Roy.
When you vote for a President, you are voting for a person but also for that person’s choice of personnel and policies.
Who will Trump surround himself with? Only loyalists who agree that the 2020 election was rigged and stolen. That’s now the criterion for hiring at the Republican National Committee.
We know what Trump’s policies will be: appease Putin; withdraw from NATO; cut Social Security, Medicare, and Obamacare; gut the EPA; block any effort to limit access to guns; criminalize abortion; abolish civil service and replace it with political hires.
That’s a start on his promises to turn back the clock.
I have reached the conclusion that people who have never appeared in the last dozen years and make comments about the presidential race intended to discourage voting. That’s their purpose. They begin by saying that there’s plenty to criticize about Trump (disarming) but Biden is senile, Biden has dementia. Don’t bother to vote. We have seen three or four examples. Then we never hear from them again. Have you noticed?
Agreed
Trump doesn’t delegate authority and when things go wrong, he’ll blame someone else in his organization although he is the one who makes most if not all of the final decisions.

“Donald Trump Profile: What I learned Writing Trump’s Biography”
https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2015/09/donald-trump-biography-what-i-learned-213188/
Richard,
Barring an unexpected event, the Presidential race will be between Trump and Biden, with several third party candidates.
The characteristics that distinguish between the two candidates are fidelity to the Constitution and character.
Trump has repeatedly demonstrated his ignorance of the Constitution. Remember when he said that Article 2 allows the President to do whatever he wants? It doesn’t. Do you think he ever read Article 2 or any other part of the Constitution? I don’t.
His effort to overturn the 2020 election showed his contempt for the Constitution. I imagine that when he was a child, he was a spoiled rotten brat. He screamed and bellowed until he got what he wanted. He took the toys away from his older brother and wouldn’t give them back.
The other characteristic needed for a President is character. The public should expect that the President will act on behalf of the country and the public. They should be able to trust his word.
Trump chose justices for the Supreme Court who were certain to overturn Roe V Wade, even though each of them swore in testimony before Congress that Roe was settled precedent and they would not overturn it. They lied. All 6 of the conservative justices lied at their confirmation hearings. All of them—including Alito and Thomas—asserted that they accepted Roe as settled law.
Trump tried to abandon Obamacare during his term and failed. He had no replacement, despite boasting that his plan was far better than Obamacare.
We can trust Biden to not only defend Obamacare but to expand it if he has Congressional support. We can trust Biden to protect Medicare and Social Security, not to eviscerate them. We can trust Biden to try to work with Republicans on good-faith efforts to lower the cost of drugs, to reduce student debt, and to protect voting rights. If he held enough votes in both houses, I have no doubt he would press for gun control laws.
If Biden is re-elected, we can expect efforts to promote the general welfare. If Trump is re-elected, we will see the most radical effort to destroy governmental programs in our lifetimes. Don’t believe me? Read Project 2025, the plan for a second Trump term.
Then there is that indefinable quality that we expect in our leaders called empathy. Biden is capable of seeing the pain that others suffer. Trump is utterly lacking in empathy. He is a grifter, a conman, a man who glories in being very rich. He can be counted on to solidify abortion bans and to oppose any gun control. He can be counted on to lower taxes on the rich and on corporations. He can be counted on to gut or eliminate the Environmental Protection Agency and ban the term “climate change,” as he did in his term in office. He is a supremely selfish and mendacious person.
Those are the choices before us.
Well said. The functioning of an older person is about much more than short term memory. Character counts for a lot as does rationality. Even if I sometimes disagree with Biden, I can respect his decision. He is generally trying to serve his country and fellow Americans. Trump is a dangerous opportunist that will say and do anything to wield power. He serves the interests of the ultra-wealthy and himself. Biden shows no signs of losing touch with reality while Trump keeps referencing violence and hatred. Trump has nothing to improve the lives of working families. He simply wants to use them for his own end.
Everything you write may be true. That does not change the fact about Biden likely having increasingly severe dementia.
I have watched Biden in interviews, and he was sharp and witty.
I saw no sign of dementia.
I saw no sign of the hatred that courses through every fiber of Trump’s being.
I saw no sexism, racism, xenophobia, or homophobia.
I’m older than Biden, and I occasionally search for a word that’s on the tip of my tongue.
But the choice for president involves a choice between radically different futures: do you want Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and Obamacare to be strengthened or diminished?
Do you want the federal government to take action against climate change or to ban any mention of it?
Do you think abortion should be banned or that women have the right to control their bodies?
Do you want the U.S. to be subservient to Putin?
That’s what’s on the ballot.
When a person with severe dementia writes “That does not change the fact about Biden likely having increasingly severe dementia”, you can tell they are a troll.
Thank you to everyone for your thoughtful, fact-based replies to the right wing troll Richard.
If you want to know how this anti-Biden propaganda works insidiously, go back and re-read all of Richard’s comments.
Richard’s entire argument is that Biden is in SEVERE cognitive decline because he says he is. He has produced no evidence at all. Richard says older Democratic politicians KNOW things. Richard says Biden didn’t take a cognitive test.
But unlike the people who cite the loads of evidence that Trump has no business being president, Richard has no evidence to back up his claims that Biden is suffering from severe dementia.
Because Biden isn’t suffering from severe dementia. And Richard is here only to troll, as he has produced no evidence whatsoever to support his view.
Trolls like Richard have zero credibility, but they hope we believe them over our own “lying” eyes.
(If you want to test Richard as a troll, just see if he will actually write that he will vote for Biden over Trump, as trolls like him are not allowed to say that no matter what. They can offer mild criticism of Trump to seem authentic, but they are NEVER allowed to say that they would vote for Biden over Trump because that would ruin all of their anti-Biden trolling whose purpose is to get people not to vote for Biden)
The biggest red flag about Trump is that he does not believe in the rule of law. Biden is faithful to his oath and will carry out his duties with integrity.
To be clear, saying that you view a case as “settled law” does not mean that a law can’t be overturned by the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court has reversed its own decisions many times even though those decisions were “settled law.” I don’t remember any headlines about how Brett K pledged not to vote to reverse Roe. v. Wade, and I don’t remember anyone talking about how he pledged not to reverse Roe. v. Wade, because everyone understood that when Brett K responded to questions about Roe v. Wade by calling it “settled law,” he was giving a non-answer.
This is a good refresher on what the justices said about Roe during their confirmation hearings. I had forgotten that Brett K didn’t use the term “settled law” (Susan Collins said he used it privately with her); it was Roberts who had said it was “settled as a precedent” of the Supreme Court. Anyway, if you look back at the hearing, there isn’t really a good case that the justices lied at their confirmation hearings.
https://www.npr.org/2022/05/03/1096108319/roe-v-wade-alito-conservative-justices-confirmation-hearings#:~:text=Collins%20Says%20Supreme%20Court%20Nominee,status%20as%20Supreme%20Court%20precedent.
I saw a video that showed all six justices assuring the Congressional committee that they would not overturn Roe. I don’t recall where but will look for it.
Thanks. I’d be absolutely shocked if any conservative justice ever said in a confirmation hearing that they would not vote to reverse Roe v. Wade (or any other decision for that matter).
I saw the video again. Will post it. They all speak of Roe as settled law and voice their devotion to stare decision.
Interested to see it. But again, saying Roe is settled law and saying that stare decisis is important is not a promise to not reverse Roe.
“When I use a word,’ Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, ‘it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.’
’The question is,’ said Alice, ‘whether you can make words mean so many different things.’
’The question is,’ said Humpty Dumpty, ‘which is to be master — that’s all.”
“You need a date / and it’s getting late / so don’t hesitate / to call Renate.”
Brett Kavanaugh (under oath):
“One of our good female friends who we would admire and went to dances with had her name used on the yearbook page with the term ‘alumnus.’ That yearbook reference was clumsily intended to show affection, and that she was one of us. But in this circus, the media’s interpreted the term is related to sex. It was not related to sex.”
Brett Kavanaugh — just lying, but not under oath so I guess his lies weren’t criminal, just a sign that he has absolutely no compunction about lying publicly for his own interests:
“Mr. President, thank you. Throughout this process, I have witnessed firsthand your appreciation for the vital role of the American judiciary. No president has ever consulted more widely or talked with more people from more backgrounds to seek input about a Supreme Court nomination.”
Certainly we expect sycophancy from Republicans toward their great leader Trump. But not lies from Supreme Court Justices about Trump, even if those blatant lies by Kavanaugh were not under oath, like the perjury Kavanaugh committed when he lied about Renate.
“Honor” = trash publicly and permanently throughout yearbook.
when words mean whatever those in power say they do.
Every Republican Supreme Court Justice lied about abortion under oath.
They didn’t.
Kavs may have lied about that one. But he didn’t lie about Roe v. Wade.
Richard Nordang,
There is no evidence of Biden having dementia. No history of dementia in his family. NONE!
However, with Trump there is plenty of evidence captures on camera repeatedly over the last few years. And Trump’s father had dementia.
Trump’s crappy lifestyle and lack of exercise also supports the fact that he has dementia and he is about a decade older the Biden biologically.

“may” have lied about Renate??
In what universe did Kavanaugh NOT commit perjury by lying under oath?
I find it far more plausible that there are plenty of people who believe that a woman who has never had sexual intercourse is still a virgin (despite whatever other sexual activity she may have engaged in), than that there are ANY people who believe that denigrating a young woman throughout a yearbook where the comments about her being an easy lay will be enshrined permanently for posterity is to “show affection” to a good female friend who all the boys “admire”.
How is it we seem to bend over backward to justify the criminal and unethical behavior of Republican Justices, judges, and attorneys, but jump all over Democrats as if their supposed “perjury” was absolutely proven and indefensible when it is just the opposite?
All the right wing Justices intentionally misled the court at their hearing. If anything, Roberts is the only one who acted the way someone who had a respect for settled precedent would act. While the others could not wait to overturn it and go even further.
Richard Nordang,
It’s not hard to know whether Trump is today not suitable to be president and whether Biden is.
When the worst thing you can say about Biden, a president who has competently guided the US through the last 4 years, is that like all of us (including you, Richard) Biden is no longer at his cognitive peak, then it is clear that you just don’t like him.
If Biden’s performance was problematic, that would be a different matter. But asking Biden to take a test that no other president (including Trump) has ever taken isn’t going to make a difference, and those calling for it are obviously anti-Biden and pro-Trump.
You revealed your own anti-Biden biases when you wrote “Biden has also never been impressive intellectually, as older Democratic politicians and journalists know, although they won’t say that openly now.”
How can you possibly have the chutzpah to tell us what “older Democratic politicians and journalists KNOW”? I think you should be taking your own cognitive test as you clearly have Trump-like delusions that you can read minds.
FYI, I am someone who isn’t impressed with the intellectual abilities of ivy-league educated NYT reporters who believe journalism is now stenography and reporting what Republican sources tell them. But if you see those beltway journalists as expert judges of intellectual heft, that speaks for itself.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is one of the sharpest minds out there and she endorsed Biden’s re-election early, because of Biden’s performance.
So please don’t purport to tell us you can read minds of other “old” Democrat politicians when you cannot. If you believe you can, then that speaks for itself.
The NYC nutcase strikes again. I will vote for Biden over Trump, but there is justified suspicion that Biden has suffered cognitive decline. That’s a medical question, not a political one. Why won’t Biden agree to undergo a cognitive exam to eliminate his greatest political liability, the concern that he isn’t up to serving out a second term?
Diane Ravitch,
I believe when people resort to name-calling like “nutcase” instead of offering credible evidence, as democracy below noticed as well as I did, then they are trolls.
I was seeing Trump’s insane Easter screed and realizing how truly frightening it is that he could be president again.
Meanwhile, trolls like Richard Nordang reveal themselves with every one of their ugly posts, which (purely coincidentally) just happen to model themselves after Donald Trump.
“NUTCASE”. Yes, that is the kind of language Trump uses INSTEAD of offering evidence in all of his rants.
Anyone who is focusing on tearing down Biden with evidence-free rants the way Trump tears down his enemies is DEFINITELY a right wing troll.
I will trust Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who doesn’t call people nutcases and doesn’t lie about Biden or Trump.
Did I say that Robert Kennedy, Jr., was a nutcase? Sorry. I meant nutjob.
Maybe Richard could PROVIDE some “credible evidence” that Joe Biden has dementia.
You noticed that, too?
Anti-Biden trolls don’t need no stinkin-evidence. Like Trump, they resort to name-calling and insults, and making claims about having special knowledge they can’t be bothered to share with us.
Here is evidence. A large majority of the public believes that Biden has lost much cognitive bandwidth. Biden could eliminate that concern by agreeing to undergo a cognitive exam. He won’t take such an exam. Why not? Rational people know the common sense answer.
If we’ve learned anything on this blog, it is that standardized tests have their shortcomings. My mother was diagnosed with dementia because she had memory problems in her ’80s. She lived with me the last four years of her life. I was warned by doctors about a future of violent outbursts that never came. I noticed her breathing was becoming labored, and an x-ray revealed she had COPD. Her forgetfulness was the result of diminished oxygen which had a impact on her brain. She had taken the standardized test and was misdiagnosed.
Larry Maxwell says “here is evidence” and then goes on to say that something that people “think” is evidence!
Larry, you don’t even know the meaning of evidence! Why aren’t you calling for Trump to have a battery of cognitive and reading comprehension tests? Larry, you may be the one who suffers from severe cognitive decline as you seem to believe that evidence is what people think. Why don’t you go on some right wing sites and explain to Trump supporters that lots of people think Trump is guilty so you insist that Trump be jailed immediately because of all the “evidence” of his guilt. People think Trump is guilty and that’s evidence enough for Larry to lock him up!

A formula for the end of the world ( named the Donald ) :
Dementia + Evil = WWIII
It’s possible to feel compassion even for Donald J. Trump.
But compassion cannot be allowed to influence the practical and necessary matter of preventing him from being elected again. Our republic’s future depends on preventing his election.
I used to. He was frightfully abused by his father. But then Trump started separating parents from their kids at the border and ordered his Secretary of Homeland Security to shoot asylum seekers (something she refused to do) and tried to send the military out against the BLM protestors. And he engaged in Covid denialism because he though this would help his reelection chances, and that caused hundreds of thousands of Americans to lose their lives unnecessarily. He is an utterly vile criminal. He freaking stole from a children’s charity. He philandered when his wives were pregnant. He committed rape. And then I did a lot of research into Putin and Trump. Now, I want to see this career criminal and seditionist and traitor in prison for the rest of this disgusting life.
His father suffering from dementia explains Trump’s “person woman man camera tv” comment. He’s apparently spent a long time trying to prove to himself that his mortality is not at all genetic. Sad. Can’t wait to have some explanations of the rest of his bizarre statements. The problem is that before he suffers or suffered from dementia, he is or was already suffering from just being demented. That began at latest when President Obama roasted him at the Correspondents Dinner, and he started talking about birth certificates and presidents being born in Kenya. It continued with him surrounding himself — the real problem — with other demented characters such as Rudy Giuliani and the behorned Jan 6 shaman guy. Trump may or may one day soon have dementia, but he definitely is demented. Food spattered on the walls demented. In need of a straitjacket demented. Downright weird, frankly.
That “person, woman, man” thing was a test for senility, not intelligence.
It’s astonishing, isn’t it, that one can live to be Trump’s age and not know the difference between an IQ test and a dementia screening. You would have thought that he would have run across IQ tests at some time in his life and learned a little something about them–IF he were a normal human with normal curiosity. But he’s a buffoon, an utter idiot, and profoundly ignorant because he never learned anything about anything except how to behave like a mob boss.
